Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from the progressive rock bombast of his previous solo efforts and his work with Genesis, 'Bay of Kings' focuses entirely on intricate acoustic guitar compositions. The purely instrumental recording highlights the guitarist's classical fingerpicking technique within a highly melodic, pastoral framework.
